I Saw an INSECTOID in a Tux, Top Hat & Cane

A man in Amsterdam, New York encounters a grasshopper-like humanoid dressed in a tux, top hat, & cane! He writes in order to ask if I have heard of similar sightings.

Amsterdam, NY - 6/9/1980: It was a hot summer afternoon in Amsterdam, New York. I was living with my mom in a house trailer, right off the main route, and the first trailer in the park. It was June 9, 1980.

The front door and the back door were almost across from one another and I had both main wood doors open and screen doors shut. There's a small deck off the back door and the front door. I was alone, my mom had gone out for some errands. I was making coffee at the counter. This counter jutted out into the kitchen leaving the front door easily in my sight to the right and the back door just slightly past my peripheral vision on the left. No TV, no music, no neighbors.

Out of the corner of my left eye, I saw movement at the back door. I looked and saw a 6' grasshopper-like being that was wearing a tuxedo with tails, a top hat, and a black cane with a carved bone-like knob. It knocked on the back screen door. I looked back at my coffee cup in disbelief, then I looked again and it was still there, as it cocked its head. I looked away again in fear. Looked one final time, and saw it was still there and that's the last I remember. The whole event took only moments.

I moved to Los Angeles in January of 1981. I had no memory of this event. I didn't tell my mom anything when she came home that day, I don't remember anything more from that day.

It wasn't until I was in college that I remembered it. It came back as clear as it was that day not over time but all at once. I began telling the story to my close friends but there was always part of me that questioned whether it happened or not. I am an artist, maybe I made it up. But the detail was too clear and then I rented the video "Communion." I'm sure you know the premise of that movie as well as it's location. When I saw the alien wearing the tux, top hat, and cane, I damn near fell off my chair. It was like being hit with a brick. what are the odds of that? There's no way we both dreamed up the same being with those odd details. This is NOT your standard Grey. I think it's important to note that the movie came out AFTER my encounter.

My purpose in writing you is to add my story to your records but more importantly, I would REALLY like to know if anyone else has seen this and if they remember anything more about the encounter. I would really like to know what happened that afternoon after my 3rd and final glance. My rebooted memory stops at the third glance. But I got a feeling that was not the end of the story. Please let me know if you have heard of anything like this and thank you for all you do to inform and facilitate." R

NOTE: I contacted the experiencer and we discussed his encounter. I don't know what he experienced that day, but it seemed to have been very profound to him. Lon

ALIEN EXPERIENCER: 'These Encounters Have Changed My Life Forever'

A North Carolina resident is in bed with his girlfriend when he is suddenly surrounded by 3 unknown beings. His girlfriend is unresponsive. The experiencer is looking for answers.

I received the following account:

China Grove, NC - 2007-03-30: Hello my name is 'R'. At the time of the incident, I was living in China Grove, North Carolina. It was March 30, 2007. First off just want to say I never looked into aliens or researched them or anything like that until this event happened to me.

I would also like to add I'm only doing this so that someone can help me understand more of what happened as I can't talk to family or friends about this. No one believes me. I'm hoping to get some info on regression therapy from someone who is local to me.

On the night of the incident, which was 18 years ago, I was sleeping in my bed next to my girlfriend at the time. We were living with her mother. Her house was right at the edge of the woods and just following that was open, what used to have been corn fields. We weren't in the country by any means just where our house was just happened to be right on farmland.

Our bedroom had one window, and it was facing the trees and fields. As I lay sleeping I sort of wake up and see a couple of light balls come through the window and into the room. I don't remember being scared or anything. The rest plays out like scenes, with no transitions though. The next thing I see is the lights are gone. And I see 3 beings in my room, 2 small ones and 1 bigger. All were small though, 2 maybe 3.5 feet and 1 maybe 4.5 feet. I remember not being able to move. One was standing in front of the TV and I remember it was almost transparent as I could see the TV through him, almost like 50 percent transparency. The other was standing by my girlfriend.

Then I remember one on top of me. I couldn't tell if it was straddling me or not but I was lying down so I assume so. I was in complete fear, no words can describe it. I tried my best to wake my girlfriend but she wouldn't move. The one on top of me got inches from my face and its eyes alone paralyzed me. The next thing I remember is waking up at 6 a.m. and being really thirsty.

I have had 3 other similar times that happened as well, in different locations. I never remember being on a craft though this just takes place in my room.

Like I said it has happened a couple more times (that I recall). Like once every couple of years. Most were similar to the above but did have one that was really different. This has changed my life forever. I just want to be heard and get more answers." R

When UFOs Were First Deemed 'ESSENTIALLY REAL'

By Dr. Raymond A. Keller, a.k.a. “Cosmic Ray,” author of the international awards-winning “Venus Rising” series (Terra Alta, WV: Headline Books, 2015-2023); also available on amazon.com

Dr. Berthold Eric Schwarz (1924-2010), a prominent New Jersey psychiatrist who, starting in 1968, wrote articles in academic medical journals attesting to the credibility of UFO experiencers and the phenomena encountered by them. Photo source: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/5...

Abstract: The following article provides a synopsis of Dr. Berthold Eric Schwarz’ groundbreaking article on the reality of UFOs that appeared in a prominent Pennsylvania academic medical journal back in 1968, thereby rallying many in the global scientific community to seriously consider the phenomenon and the implications inherent in UFOs as physical and possibly extraterrestrial spacecraft.

Scientific Credibility

In October 1968, just one year before the infamous federal government-sponsored University of Colorado at Boulder’s infamous Scientific Study of UFOs was officially released, directed by that institution’s physics chair, Dr. Eduard U. Condon, and totally debunking the entire UFO phenomenon, a handful of scientists from throughout the United States had decided to join the conversation as to the reality of these mysterious objects and the as yet undetermined intelligence behind their evermore frequent appearances in our skies and their occupants, the so-called “ufonauts” alleged interactions with American citizens from all walks of life. Among these were Dr. J. Allen Hynek, an astronomer from Chicago’s Northwestern University and Air Force Project Bluebook consultant on UFOs, Dr. Jacques Valle, a French computer expert and long-time investigator of the phenomenon and author of several books on UFOs, as well as Dr. Ronald Leo Sprinkle, a prominent psychologist from the University of Wyoming at Laramie who also served as the first scientific consultant to the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO), the second largest civilian UFO investigating group in the world, then located in Tucson, Arizona.

Dr. Sprinkle, it should be noted, wrote the introduction to my first book in the Venus Rising series. In October 1968, I was a member of APRO, which unfortunately ceased operations in 1988. Much of the group’s UFO-investigating activities were assumed by the rival Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), then headquartered in Seguin, Texas.

The block of ice encasing the UFO phenomenon began to break even more in October 1968 when Dr. Berthold Eric Schwarz, an assistant attending psychiatrist at Montclair Community Hospital in Montclair, New Jersey, joined the fray in publicly coming out in a prominent academic journal attesting to his conclusion that UFOs were “essentially real,” and not delusions or figments of anyone’s overactive imagination. In that month’s issue of the prestigious medical journal, Medical Times (Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania: Romaine Pierson Publications, Vol. 96, No. 10), Dr. Schwarz’ article, “UFOs: Delusion or Dilemma,” October 1968, focused on four close-range UFO encounters which he personally investigated. Speaking to the UFO witnesses in person, the psychiatrist became convinced that there were no psychopathological reasons for these people to have had these experiences. He concluded that the UFOs involved in each of the four cases were “essentially real;” and hence the UFO phenomenon, in general, was a worthy subject for scientific inquiry.

Competition with Santa’s Sleigh

On Christmas Eve of 1966, a factory worker from Passaic County, New Jersey, Claude Coutant, photographed this UFO hovering over the Wanaque Reservoir, the site of intensive UFO activity for several months. The mayor, city councilmen, police officers, security guards, and many other credible witnesses reported a UFO emitting a blinding beam of nearly opaque light that would, when the reservoir was frozen over, melt circles in the ice. The UFO flap provoked a military presence in the area, where attempts were made to confiscate all photos of the Wanaque object and to pressure the UFO witnesses into silence. Fortunately, this photo escaped confiscation and many of the UFO experiencers spoke up about their encounters, believing strongly, like police sergeant Benjamin Thompson, whose account appears below, that the truth needed to be known.

Case Number One: Wanaque, New Jersey, 11 October 1966

Classification: CE-2

“Blinded by the Light”

Dr. Schwarz read numerous newspaper accounts about a flurry of UFO sightings taking place in the vicinity of Wanaque Reservoir in northwest New Jersey in late September 1966 through January 1967 and then decided to drive out to the area where he first spoke with Sergeant Benjamin Thompson of the Borough of Ringwood Police Department in Passaic County, New Jersey, where the reservoir is located. The police sergeant, respecting Dr. Schwarz’ medical and scientific background, was not as reluctant to discuss his UFO encounter as he was with reporters from sundry media, who tended to be more sensationalist in their approach to both him and the subject of UFOs. In his own words, as spoken into Dr. Schwarz portable tape recorder, Sergeant Thompson describes his UFO encounter that took place on 11 October 1966, starting at about 9:15 p.m.:

“It was diagonally 250 feet from me, out over the reservoir, as big as an automobile, or bigger. It was about 250 feet up in the air. When I got out of the police car, this thing was so bright that it blinded me so bad I couldn’t find the car. It was all white, like looking into a bulb and trying to see the socket, which you can’t do. I signed out of service (to the Borough of Ringwood Police) for twenty minutes because I couldn’t see, either the fingers of my hand or the lights of my jeep. I stood by the fence until my vision came back gradually.

“It made no sounds but left a heavy mist-like sort of fog. It really shook me up. When I got back into the car, switched on the red dome light and flasher, and then got out of the car and started walking toward it, it took off. It never made a sound. I would say that I observed it for about three minutes. I was totally blinded, by the light. It took away my voice and I was hoarse for two weeks after that.”

Nine months later, Dr. Schwarz interviewed Sergeant Thompson again, and his story did not vary even one iota in the details. The psychiatrist was convinced that Sergeant Thompson’s UFO experience was real because several other officers in the Ringwood Police Department confirmed his account and testified to Thompson’s outstanding reputation of never telling a lie or making up tall tales.

Case Number Two: Newfoundland, New Jersey, 15 October 1966

Classification: CE-2

“Flu-like illness induced by UFO encounter”

Here is another UFO encounter that took place in the vicinity of a reservoir in New Jersey. In this case, our UFO experiencer, Jerry H. Simmons was a 22-year-old gentleman from Montclair, New Jersey, a bedroom community of New York City, who was employed as a forester in Newfoundland, New Jersey, a small, unincorporated community in Passaic County, extending more to the eastern end of the county limits and situated in the north-central section of the Garden State. Simmons maintained that on Saturday, 15 October 1966, while driving to a campsite that he frequented in the nearby Split Rock Reservoir, between the hours of 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., his car was buzzed by an anomalous object.

Simmons informed Dr. Schwarz about the incident: “I was traveling north on the road into the campsite and noticed a very outstanding glow in the rearview mirror. I thought at first that my brake light was stuck because it (the UFO) had a very dull glow at the time I noticed it. I tried putting my foot under the brake pedal and pulling it up. It was at this point that I became aware of the orange-red glow becoming brighter.”

The forester then parked his car along the side of the road and lowered the window on the driver’s side so he could get a better look at the back end of his car. Then, from out of nowhere, came a “huge, glowing light” that seemed to be emerging from some type of “solid body or object” apparently approaching him. At this point of the encounter, Simmons noted that he began to “doubt my sanity,” adding, “I could not accept what my eyes were seeing; but it only took a few seconds for all doubt to leave my mind and for me to understand that what I was seeing was very real.”

Deciding to get back into his car and drive south back to the main road, Simmons was hoping that he could flag down assistance or even garner others who might come with him back to the campsite who could serve as witnesses to the UFO(s). He thought that perhaps the light might be a probe of some kind dispatched from the larger, but darker object. Unfortunately for him, the intelligence behind the UFO had other plans. As the object continued to slowly approach him, his car motor died out, thus leaving him stranded on a lonely country backroad.

“Without any warning,” asserted the forester, “all the electrical equipment quit working. My headlights, dash lights, and the engine quit. I don’t believe I have ever been so frustrated in all my life.”

Once the UFO was directly over his car, it passed over to the passenger side of the vehicle, thus allowing Simmons to turn the ignition and move the vehicle slightly forward down the road. This cat-and-mouse game between the UFO and Simmons occurred two more times, until the UFO intelligence seemingly tired of it and flew out over the reservoir once Simmons had gotten closer to it.

On 17 January 1967, Simmons was admitted to the Montclair Community Hospital for an illness that one of the doctors on staff diagnosed as the “flu.” The forester reported that symptoms of “fatigue, anorexia, generalized soreness and weakness of the muscles, drowsiness, chills, and a weight loss of 35 pounds” had all plagued him since his initial encounter with the UFO. Doctors and medical staff were concerned about the persistence and severity of these symptoms contributing to the “bizarre nature of the illness.” Therefore, arrangements were made for Simmons’ admission to the National Institute of Health (NIH) for a special analysis and study, free of charge. The forester, however, did not like the track where this was heading and declined to participate any further or go to the NIH headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland, across from Johns Hopkins Hospital. Fortunately for the UFO experiencer, all of these aforementioned symptoms disappeared on their own after a few months.

Pentagon doctors warn that not all UFO encounters are happy ones.

Mental Health Survey Checks Out

In the Medical Times article, Dr. Schwarz reported: “A study of the forester’s past life, gleaned in several interviews lasting many hours, led me to believe that he never had any previous experiences like this. He had never had any emotional illness. He was an experienced outdoorsman who had camped in many of the states of the United States for some years. He was a high school graduate and had had two additional years of industrial arts.”

Perhaps Robert Martz’ encounter with UFOs on a rural Pennsylvania road in 1966 inspired this scene with Richard Dreyfuss in Steven Spielberg’s epic, Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Columbia Pictures, Hollywood, California, 1977).

Case Number Three: Outskirts of Monroeton, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, 25 April 1966

Classification: CE-2

“Stalled pickup truck engine and faded headlights”

While in the process of driving home with a friend, shortly after 8 p.m. on 25 April 1966, Robert W. Martz, a 73-year-old retired electrical contractor, sighted a “fireball-type UFO” in the vicinity of Monroeton, Pennsylvania. According to Martz’ testimony, as given to Dr. Schwarz, he and his friend’s attention “was drawn to the sky by a very awesome, huge, flaming body, which lit up a large area, and was visible for several seconds. It had a lengthy green and yellow tail.”

Soon after the appearance of the first UFO, a second object, cigar-shaped, came into view. Of this UFO, Martz noted that “A dim light could actually be seen coming from four ports on the craft. It looked like it was 250 feet in front of us and 250 feet up, and it could go at a terrific speed. It was about 25 feet in length and had a tail 35 feet long.” The retired contractor added that, “My pickup truck’s engine stalled and the headlights faded out. I was amazed and flabbergasted.”

Solid Psychological Profile

Dr. Schwarz believed Martz because of his solid psychiatric profile. The psychiatrist duly remarked: “Martz has never had any emotional illness. He and his friends do not use liquor or unprescribed drugs. There was nothing in the contractor’s history or behavior since the UFO event to suggest sociopathic behavior, brain syndrome, and the like.”

Case Number Four: Presque Isle Beach on the outskirts of Erie, Erie County, Pennsylvania, 31 July 1966

Classification: CE-3

“Possible contact and monster sighting”

This CE-3 case involved multiple experiencers whose car was stuck in the sand on the Presque Isle beach, immediately to the northwest of Erie, in the northwest corner of Pennsylvania, on the last day of July in 1966. It was around 10 p.m. when Erie Police Patrolman Robert Loeb, Jr., and fellow Patrolman Ralph E. Clark were making their nightly beach patrol in the Presque Isle Peninsula Park when they noticed an automobile bogged down in the sand and stopped to check it out. The occupants of the car were Douglas Tibbets, 18, Betty Jean Klem, 16, Anita Haifley, 22, and Gerald La Belle, 26, the owner of the car, whom the others informed the police had walked into town to try and get some help in removing the automobile from the sand, but who had not yet returned. Upon hearing about La Belle’s going for assistance, Senior Patrolman Loeb told the others in the car, “We’ll be back in another 30 or 40 minutes and we will check again if you are still here.”

Right after the policemen left, the two young women in the car rolled down the windows to look at the starry night sky when they spotted a bright pinpoint of light that continually seemed to increase in size and luminosity as it was swooping down and nearing their vehicle. Much to their dismay, the illumined, strange object from the heavens landed directly in front of their car, right behind a line of brushy trees. Betty Jean Klem later remarked to representatives of local media, concerning the UFO, “It was the size of a house. It was mushroom-shaped. I could even see lights on the back of it. The thing settled down on the beach about 100 yards from us. When it struck the ground, it then glowed bright red.” And Douglas Tibbets, in speaking to the same Erie reporter, added, “We felt the car shake and then there was a loud noise such as a telephone receiver makes.”

A few seconds after the landing of the UFO, all of the car’s occupants agreed that the glowing red light gave way to flashing rays of white light that seemed to be probing the beach and woods. Tibbets, in his police report of the incident, noted that “There were about a dozen lights and they seemed to be searching for something.” At the same time as the UFO began to probe the area, all of those inside the car heard scratching noises on the roof of their vehicle. Around 10:30 p.m., the patrolmen returned to the scene of the bogged-down vehicle, with their red lights flashing so that those in the car would know it was them on the returning patrol. After the patrolmen were back on the scene, Tibbets felt it was safe to get out of the vehicle, whence he found several scratches and a dent in the roof of the car. A conversation then ensued.

Tibbets to the patrolmen: “There are some mighty weird things happening up the beach.” The patrolmen then walked with Tibbets to the area in front of the car. Betty Jean Klem, occupying the front passenger seat, leaned over and pressed the automobile’s horn, thereby emitting a shattering blare into the dark night.

Patrolman Loeb noted that “Miss Klem was hysterical, shaking and crying. She sobbed that a giant figure had approached the car.” This prompted Tibbets and the patrolmen to hurry back to the car.

Klem: “There’s something out there in the dark!” This is what she screamed upon seeing a dark creature approaching the front of the car. She further remarked that, “It did not appear human and it wasn’t like any animal I’ve ever seen. It was over six feet tall and I could not see any arms or legs. When I blew the horn, it slowly moved away and disappeared into the bushes.” Betty Jean Klem was of the opinion that the darkness of the night kept her from viewing other features of the creature.

Klem leaped from the vehicle once Tibbets and the patrolmen arrived back at the vehicle. Patrolman Clark reported that this is when, “She started to run away and I caught her,” thus preventing Klem from hurting herself, possibly tripping over a rotting log or some other artifact on the beach.

Anita Haifley, being in the back seat of the vehicle and huddling over her two small children, did not see anything, but could hear the scratching on the roof. For the sake of her children, she did manage to maintain her composure throughout the incident.

Park Police Chief Opines

Dan Dascanio, Park Police Chief, weighed in on this most unusual incident. “I know what people are going to say;” Dascanio remarked, adding, “but this girl (Klem) definitely saw something that frightened her badly. This is no joke, as far as we (of the Presque Isle Park) are concerned. The girl was a credible person. Of the two individuals involved, she was the most specific about what she saw. She made no attempt to fill in her story when she wasn’t sure. She was one scared girl when I first saw her. Her hands were shaking. Her face was trembling. Her speech was more inarticulate, and she had difficulty maintaining her composure. Her eyes were red and she kept shaking her head from side to side.” At Dascanio’s recommendation, on the following morning at 7:00 a.m. (1 August 1966) after the alleged UFO/alien encounter, two park patrolmen, Paul Wilson, and J. Robert Canfield, were dispatched to the site of the incident, which was taped off the night before by Erie patrolmen Loeb and Clark. Later that day, the site was also visited by Erie Patrolman Abert Gagnon, who also checked out the area for anything that Wilson and Canfield may have overlooked. Wilson and Canfield, immediately upon their arrival, noticed distinct impressions in the sand filled with a sticky, but colorless liquid. Samples were taken of this liquid, mixed with sand, and later delivered to the Erie Police Department lab for analysis. Nothing further has been revealed concerning the lab’s findings about the liquid, other than that it was mixed with silicon from the sand.

Spirit entities, like the alleged “Shadow People,” are sometimes associated with UFO phenomena. Betty Jean Klem’s facsimile of the “dark, shadowy, featureless creature” that scared her out of her wits during the UFO encounter. Sketch obtained from the files of the late premier ufologist, Timothy Green Beckley (1947-2021), a.k.a., “Mr. UFO,” as published in his column, “On the Trail of the Flying Saucers,” Flying Saucers magazine, Amherst, Wisconsin, Issue No. 67. December 1969.

Later Findings in the Presque Isle Case

Douglas Tibbets was taken to Hamot Hospital in Erie on the day after the incident where he was diagnosed with a slightly elevated temperature and an “inflammation of the throat.”

Anita Haifley, the young woman who remained in the back seat of the car with her two children, and who initially reported that she did not see the monster sighted by her friend Betty Jean Klem in the front seat, nevertheless reported that for three weeks after the incident, she was plagued with nightmares about being attacked by a very tall, dark creature. When Dr. Schwarz tried to question her about the incident and the subsequent nightmares, Haifley unfortunately refused to discuss the matters with him.

Erie Patrolman Gagnon, after his visit to the site, became ill upon returning home later that evening, also suffering from similar maladies as diagnosed for Tibbets in the Erie hospital. Gagnon explained that he had previously suffered no such illness as the one he experienced following his visit to the UFO landing site.

Psychiatric Analysis by Dr. B. E. Schwarz

According to the prominent psychiatrist, Dr. Berthold Eric Schwarz: “On 5 and 6 January 1968, Miss Klem and Mr. La Belle, the fourth witness, were examined psychiatrically. Their accounts of the events and specific chronology were entirely similar to the many published accounts and other records in Chief Dascanio’s files. Miss Klem and Mr. La Belle, before the Presque Isle episode, had been nonbelievers in UFOs; and neither of them had read more in the popular press than perhaps the average person. Interrogation of three of Miss Klem’s friends of several years standing, as well as her husband, supported her reputation for truthfulness. Miss Klem seemed to be above average intelligence. She answered questions in a straightforward, open way. She appeared to be healthy, her only defect being myopia, which was completely corrected with glasses. There was no evidence of any past or present sociopathic behavior or neurotic character traits. In the presence of her husband, she was induced into a hypnotic trance; and the salient details of the alleged UFO experience were fully confirmed. There were never any variations in her account.”

Unidentified Submarine Objects (USOs) are frequently sighted both descending into and emerging from Lake Erie. Artwork source: http://farfuturehorizons.blogspot.com/

Ancillary Reports Point to “Saucer Nest” In or Near Erie, Pennsylvania, or Unidentified Submarine Object (USO) Base Underneath Lake Erie

On Wednesday, 3 August 1966, the Erie Daily News published an article concerning reports of UFO activity to the south of Erie, Pennsylvania, that had been investigated by some of their reporters. One rural couple denied the Daily News permission to reveal their names in any forthcoming stories insofar as “they are already suffering because of their having told neighbors about the sighting.” According to the newspaper report, the couple stated that they had observed a cigar-shaped object “shortly after the Fourth of July.” The Daily News article declared that their news desk received numerous reports during the prior two weeks of a similar type of UFO in the vicinity of Erie and also out over the lake, thus lending credibility to the anonymous couple’s account.

Apparently, the plethora of UFO sightings in the area caught the attention of United States Air Force personnel. One gentleman from Erie claimed that an Air Force investigator visited his neighborhood after several calls were made from him and his neighbors concerning the sighting of the cigar-shaped UFO. After checking out the UFO report, the military investigator “warned people to stay away from the object, if it should reappear.”

Gabriel Green (1924-2001), the president of a civilian UFO research group in Los Angeles, California, the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America (AFSCA), asked some of his organization’s members in the Erie, Pennsylvania, area to check out the sightings and provide him with a report for later publication in the pages of their group’s official monthly organ, UFO International.

What Green learned from the AFSCA investigators was that “Erie residents have been seeing strange things in their skies for several years. On 15 May 1964, Mrs. Richard Gross said that her two boys noticed a strange object in the sky as they were preparing for bed. Another young boy sighted a ‘chrome thing that went put-put’ near his home in Kearsarge, a township in Erie County. An anonymous individual called the Daily News office to report a tripod-shaped craft landing at a picnic area near Erie.”

From all of this data, Green concluded that “There may be a flying saucer ‘nest’ somewhere near Erie.”

Marcus Lowth, one of ufology’s leading lights when it comes to the investigation of unidentified submarine objects (USOs) or unidentified underwater objects (UUOs), as well as numerous other types of paranormal phenomena, has cataloged hundreds of sightings of strange lights and craft emerging from, or descending into the seas, oceans, and lakes around the world. Some USO researchers and investigators, like Lowth, even claim that there are underwater alien bases present in the vicinity of the locales where these aquatic sightings have occurred.

Lowth notes a unique case from Erie documented in the 2011 book Eerie Erie: Tales of the Unexplained from Northwest Pennsylvania by Robin Swope (Charleston, South Carolina: History Press), which examines and investigates numerous Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) reports. Many of these reports speak of USOs seen “crashing” into the water of Lake Erie. The incident in the book that caught Lowth’s attention took place in 1988 and alleged that a strange craft landed on the lake when it was iced over. The landing was witnessed by Sheila and Henry Baker of Erie, Pennsylvania, who filed a report with the local Coast Guard. As the mysterious craft landed, there were strange creaking and cracking sounds heard coming from the ice as well as a series of blue and red lights being emitted from the craft itself. There also appeared to be several strange triangular objects that were deployed from the USO as it was descending. These triangles moved purposely around in all directions along the iced over surface of the lake. Suddenly, the sounds on the ice stopped, and the craft and the mysterious triangles vanished. Both Lowth and Swope suggested that the main USO and its ejected probes had indeed found their way below the ice and under the water.

My friend, William Dale Harder, the director of the North Coast Aerial Phenomena Project (NCAPP) in Cleveland, Ohio, is also of the opinion that there is a saucer base under Lake Erie due to the significant amount of USO reports coming in, and out of Lake Erie waters in the Greater Cleveland area his organization consistently receives and investigates.

Other UFO Reports from Erie and Northwest Pennsylvania

APRO Pennsylvania State Section investigators also collected other UFO reports from Erie and the northwest Pennsylvania area taking place around the same date as Betty Jean Klem’s encounter with the UFO and shadow creature. These reports were published in the September-October 1966 issue of the A.P.R.O. Bulletin (Tucson, Arizona). A brief summary of the UFO flap follows:

On the evening of Friday, 29 July 1966, at approximately 8:30 p.m., a witness who wished to remain anonymous told an APRO investigator that he had seen a six to eight-foot-long silver object passing over Erie, Pennsylvania at an estimated speed of 300 miles per hour.

On the same evening, another anonymous witness claims that he had discovered a series of “three-toed footprints” outside of his Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, residence, which is about 120 miles south of Erie. The unusual prints measured six inches long by six inches wide.

And on the following day, 30 July, a staff photographer for the New Castle News of New Castle, Pennsylvania, about 75 miles south of Erie, photographed an “angular flying object” quite similar to the description of the UFO provided by Tibbets on the evening of the 31 July.

Even on the very night of the Tibbets-Klem encounter, at around 10:30 p.m., an Erie doctor living about one mile south of Presque Isle, near the coast of Lake Erie, reported seeing a “circular path of orange light about the size of a baseball (as if held at arm’s length) traveling at a high rate of speed at an estimated altitude of 500 to 1,000 feet.”

At 1:00 a.m. on 1 August, an anonymous witness also observed a bright light over Lake Erie for a duration of some 90 minutes.

Return of the Same Creature?

To top everything off, at around 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday, 3 August 1966, an “unusual creature” was reportedly seen on the streets of Erie, Pennsylvania, by a female witness who wished to remain anonymous, but who, nevertheless, agreed to be interviewed by the world-renowned paranormal investigator, John A. Keel, the author of many books on cryptids, ghosts, monsters, and UFOs. Keel’s report to APRO states that the woman experiencer was awakened that morning by the barking of neighborhood dogs. Upon looking out her bedroom window to see what all the commotion was about, she saw what she described as a “human-shaped being about five feet, six-inches tall.” She further noted that “It was clothed in yellow jacket and yellow trousers, with no discernable pockets, belts or other features. The head was huge and moon-shaped and when seen from the side, the back of its head appeared to be flat. This head was covered with straggly brown hair of a muddy color. The creature had very big shoulders and a slender build. It moved with a still, jerky, mechanical motion, holding its arms close to its sides. They (the arms) did not move at all. Its legs did not bend at the knees. He moved like a mechanical, wind-up toy.”

While the local dogs were barking and nipping at the creature’s heels, it did not seem to be bothered by them. Our witness then, being quite frightened, decided to wake up her husband, calling him to the bedroom window. When he looked outside, however, all he could see was some movement in the bushes along their property line.

The creature was also spotted again that night across from the United Oil storage tanks on West Third Street in Erie, also walking stiffly and out of sight behind some of the larger tanks.

The Flap Continues

At 11:45 p.m., on Wednesday, 3 August 1966, Clebert Steff, an advertising department employee of the Erie Times-News, witnessed a bright flying object in the skies over Erie through binoculars displaying red and white lights. The object traveled from west to east at an estimated angle of 30 degrees. The UFO’s flight path was highly erratic and no clearly defined shape could be seen. Steff did note that the UFO did not seem to move like a conventional aircraft.

Around the same time that night, an Erie electrical engineer from a large plant was getting off from his shift when he sighted some “unusual sky objects” in a seeming V-formation, which he managed to get an even better view of after getting a pair of binoculars that he kept on the back seat of his car for weekend hunting trips. Upon focusing on the UFOs with the binoculars, however, he soon discovered that it was actually one object “with a V-shaped bottom, all lit up,” which flew from south to north for a period of 42 seconds before “just blinking out of sight.” From the electrical engineer’s perspective of looking at the UFO through the binoculars, it emitted an orange glow and left no trail.

British Columbia Logger Amazed at the Speed & Strength of a MASSIVE SASQUATCH

A British Columbia logger describes his encounter with a juvenile Sasquatch late at night. As he watched the small creature, a huge creature swiftly moved in, grabbed the juvenile, and quickly retreated.

"Princeton, British Columbia, Canada on the Sterling Creek logging road around 3:30 in the morning/ There were two logging trucks about half a kilometer ahead of me. It was very dusty being late summer and I was in a pickup truck. I was cresting the hill where I could barely see the logging truck's tail lights. By then I was maybe 300 yards give or take. I thought I'd seen something that crossed the road behind the last truck and me.
As I got closer something rolled down on the high side of the bank into the ditch. I was about 15 to 20 feet from what I thought was a bear cub. This little thing comes out of the ditch all confused looking at the headlights of the pickup truck. It was on all four legs at the time. I just stared at it and thought that it was a weird-looking bear cub. Here's where it gets strange.
The little guy gets up on two legs and starts walking a couple of feet looking from one side of the road to the other side from where he rolled down. I got a good look at it. The ears were not of any bear cub. Its nose was close to the face like a human's. You could see the skin through the hair. I shut the truck off and opened the door and stood on the door jamb looking at it.
Something moved from the high side of the road, landed, grabbed the little guy, and jumped off to the bottom side into the dark. It was a massive two-legged beast that had strength that no bear was capable of doing, never mind that it was on two legs.
I'm 47 years old, born and raised in Princeton. I'm a hunter. I've killed lots of four-legged animals. I tell everybody now that we are not at the top of the food chain. All I can say is that if you think you're going to kill one of them you're playing with something that's not going to lose. Call me a liar, call me crazy, it doesn't matter to me."

HEADLESS 'MEN IN BLACK!' WHAT DID I SEE?

A Hagerstown, Maryland woman is awakened by constant barking by the dogs in her neighborhood. He goes to investigate and encounters something beyond her imagination.

I received the following account:

"It's around 4:30 a.m. here and all the dogs in my neighborhood (I live in Hagerstown, Maryland) are freaking out. I get up to go let my dogs inside the house figuring that'll at least calm things down a bit.

I open the back porch door and look to my right where there is a fence line to another house. I looked over there because it looked like there were clothes hanging off the fence and our neighbors have never done that so I thought it was weird

Then I saw them. 2 men in black suits with no heads. I look at them for a good minute to make sure my eyes aren't playing tricks on me. They don't move they just stand there. I could tell that one looked heavier than the other but that's it. I backed into the house locked the back door and turned off the light.

I go back into my room and my husband is now awake because of all the dogs barking. I tell him I'm going to wait until it's light outside to get the dogs in because I just saw something I can't explain. I told him what I saw and I said I felt like I sounded crazy but I saw this, I'm not joking. He seemed like he believed me but I don't know.

WTH did I see?" AB

NOTE: This occurred on March 27, 2019, in Hagerstown, Maryland (Washington County). Lon

Was it a Living SASQUATCH or SKOOKUM SPIRIT?

A group of friends & family is camping near Mt. Rainier, Washington. The witness begins to hear unusual noises & voices outside of his tent. Now he must try to figure out what is going on!

"My wife, daughter, and I went camping over the Labor Day holiday weekend. We both took off work Friday and headed off to meet up with a group of friends who were camping with their kids and dogs. They were already out there and had found a nice campsite that was big enough for our group. Just a spot off of a service road with a primitive fire pit and not an official campground.

In total, there were 10 of us, 7 adults and 3 tweens. We were camping out in an area south of Mt. Rainier, Washington just outside of the park boundary off of a road that would lead you to a locked gate that enters the park. We knew at the end of the road was a locked gate because all the cars that went that way only to flip back around because it was only accessible to National Park staff. We set up our camp in a flat area that would fit the 2 tents that they had raked up for us prior to our arrival, it was a bit closer to the road than their tents were. They had set up their tents much further back.

Once camp was set up we hung out with our friends while the kids played and had dinner around the fire. Just friends hanging out having drinks hanging around the fire and all was great. We stayed up pretty late and everyone was getting tired and cold. Slowly everyone faded off to their tents and to bed. My wife was cold and went to warm up in the car and then proceeded to fall asleep in the car. Now my daughter and I are the last two awake out by the fire and she decided that she wanted to sleep in the car where it was warm with my wife. I agreed that was okay after I attempted to wake my wife up and get her to come to the tent to go to sleep and she was out cold. So I watched her go to her tent and grab her blanket and her sleeping bag for my wife as it was cold and I had turned the car off now. She grabbed the stuff, zipped up the tent, and off to the car she went.

I stayed up a little bit longer by the fire and must have dozed off momentarily because when I woke back up I was sitting in a camping chair with only glowing embers and it was pitch black. Only the coals of the fire glowing red glowing in the now dead fire. I got up and found my way to the tent in the pitch blackness of the night climbed in and went to sleep. I was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as I hit that sleeping bag.

Around 3:30 a.m. I woke up to my daughter's tent kind of rustling and what sounded like two female voices talking really softly. I listened intently trying to hear what they were saying, but I couldn’t really understand anything. There were no real discernible words coming out just mumbling. Then silence. I figured it was just my wife and daughter finding their way to my daughter's tent, not wanting to wake me up by being loud. Figured my wife was just going to sleep in the tent with my daughter. However, now I am up because my back is killing me because the air mattress is now flat and airless.

As I lay there in what I can only describe as dead silence I heard cracking like sticks breaking or popping so I assumed it was the fire still hanging on somehow. Then I hear something moving around towards the front of my tent and it stops. Something is directly outside the front of my tent I can feel it and sense it. So I slowly raise up to a seated position and hear something breathe in and exhale a large breath. This is the heaviest breath I have ever heard and it was followed but what I can only describe as a very loud huff as if from a horse or cow or some very large animal. I sat there frozen with fear trying to rationalize what it was I was hearing and it stopped. All I heard was the one deep inhale and exhale and that huff sound then everything went silent. What followed next was an owl hooting a little ways off back from behind the area of our friend's tents and after that, I heard nothing else. No sounds at all no fire popping/sticks cracking nothing. I stayed there sitting up frozen with fear for what seemed like forever until I could tell the sun was coming up and that it was light out now. I muster up the courage and go outside and check the ground in front of my tent and that’s when I noticed my daughter's tent unzipped and empty!

I panic and rush to the car and there they are in the car sound asleep. I see not a single track, nothing around our tents, and everyone else is about 20 to 30 yards away in their tents. Now I am freaking the hell out. Who did I hear talking? Who was skulking around the tent? What the hell was that breathing in front of me and huffing outside my tent? What opened my daughter's tent zipper? Surely there is an explanation and I sit out there for at least an hour getting the fire going as our friends begin to get up and move about. They slowly make their way to the fire and I immediately start asking them where were the dogs all night? Did you let them out where they sniffing around my tent? Did any of you wake up and were talking or moving around and did you hear that owl? Nope, no, and no they all replied.

I have no idea what that was talking softly and what was breathing and huffing right in front of me. What the hell opened my daughter's tent in the night? I watched her zip it shut and go to the car. That breath and huff was so scary it left me frozen with fear and I didn’t move at all after hearing it and sat there as silent as possible not even wanting to breathe. One of the scariest moments of my life is something large and unknown in the darkness directly in front of me and the only thing separating us is a thin tent wall. This all happened Friday into Saturday morning and we still have another night here. I decided that I am not sleeping in the tents and neither are my wife and daughter tonight or ever again.

The rest of the day went great hanging out and having breakfast, going into town (Ashford), and going for a hike down the road to lake (Cora Lake). Basically just camping and hanging. It’s getting later now and although the sun is out and blue skies the canopy in our camping area is thick and even at the brightest point in the day was still pretty dark compared to the road area.

As we are hanging out we hear woooo-ooops way off in the distance and we are thinking 'What is that?' More time passes by and now a few of the people that were there when we arrived at camp have left. Just 7 of us left and 2 of the 7 were pretty much always in their tent. So that left 5 of us hanging out by the fire. That’s when dusk crept in and my buddy began working on dinner for all of us. As we sat there, from off in the woods between us and the park boundary towards the creek we heard these blood-curdling screams and wood-type howls that everyone heard. We all stopped talking and fell silent and we all began to ask each other wtf was that. We heard this about 4 - 5 times. It sounded like a woman being murdered and a howling type of sound.

Then came a few tree knocks from the same general direction. Is someone messing with us out here everyone was thinking? Keep in mind it is a holiday weekend, so tons of campers within a 15-mile radius. So I called my buddy over and he hadn’t heard the screams because he had been cooking on a skillet and had a propane lantern in front of him and behind him and they were loud. We stand there and listen and don’t hear it.

We decided we would do a tree knockback, closer to the road that divided us from the area we heard these vocalizations and knocks. That is when we heard it! I got a chill down my spine to my core and the hairs raised up on my arms and neck. We both looked at one another and at the same time asked, 'Did you f*cking hear that?' I asked him what he heard and we had both heard what we can only describe as a monkey/gorilla sound like you would hear on Discovery channel or something. It was like ooooh oooh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh sound. It was far off but deep and rumbling sounding unlike what you hear on T.V. I want to say it was directed/focused at us, I only say that because the other people were sitting behind us maybe only 10 feet away and they didn’t hear it only us.

Now we are freaking the hell out and nobody is sleeping in their tents! We don’t want to say anything and freak everyone else because at this point they are already on edge. I have been hiking and camping here in the PNW for almost 20 years now and have never experienced this while I was camping out with family and friends. I am 39 years old and from the East Coast and have been shot at and chased growing up in the ghetto. I am a former U.S. Army Infantryman who has spent countless nights in only a sleeping bag in a dug-out sleeping hole and in tents. I am now afraid to ever sleep in a tent again after this weekend. I have never really ever felt fear like I did that 1st night in all my time in the forests out here except when I was a kid in the woods back home." JB

Several UPRIGHT CRYPTID CANINES Encountered in Southwestern Pennsylvania

A Navy vet and his friends were hiking in an undisclosed location in southwest Pennsylvania when they began to encounter tall cryptid canines along the trail they were on.

The witness, (he asked his name not to be used), a Navy vet in his late 50s, was camping with some of his old Navy buddies in a very remote area of the forest in southwest Pennsylvania (Most likely in Greene County). It was in June 2021. They had spent most of the day hiking to the location and it was around dusk when they set up their tents. The witness went off alone to gather firewood. It was now getting dark but he was only about 30 yards from the camp and had his 45 with him. He soon realized he was being flanked on his left and his right by something and he called out to his friends who arrived to check on him.

As they walked on the trail, a seven to eight-foot-tall wolf-like creature standing on two legs emerged from the forest. He described it as “massive” and with a “chest like a bodybuilder.” Its eyes were glowing yellow and it was gnashing its teeth. A type of slime was dripping from its mouth. The creature charged at them but it was impeded by a large boulder which seemingly came out of nowhere and impacted the side of its head causing it to fall into a ravine. The men rushed back to camp.

A second wolf-like creature, even larger than the first, stepped out and also charged at them. It too was struck by an object, this time a tree, which caused a cracking sound, and felled the creature. As the men watched, a large creature covered in hair, standing about 10 feet tall with noticeable breasts, stepped out of the forest. It was holding a log in its hands. It was joined by another hairy creature standing 12 feet tall. The creatures stared at the men. The female then pointed down the trail and the men sensed she was telling them to leave the area. They rushed back to camp.

Since it was too far and too late to hike out, the men made a bonfire using any wood close by or already gathered and stayed up all night with the weapons drawn. They could hear the two sets of creatures circling their camp. At one point, another one of the wolf-like creatures stepped out of the forest and walked in their direction but it was stopped by one of the Bigfoot-like creatures which emerged out of the forest and attacked it with a large stick. At dawn, the terrified men broke camp and, despite their exhaustion, made their way back down the trail and out of the area.

Romanian Families Experience Horrible 'SPATIO-TEMPORAL HOLE' Event!

Three families from Romania found themselves in a kind of "spatio-temporal hole" in the Carpathian Mountains! There, they experienced a horrible event.

I received this from my friend and research associate Christinne Radu. A new shocking report from General Emil Streinu:

In this article, I will talk about another incredible revelation of the general, which is actually about an incident experienced by three families from Romania in the early 90s. So, the three families decide to spend a weekend in a wild mountain area, in tents, in the middle of nature. The place had been carefully chosen in a very wild and relatively inaccessible area.

Upon arriving with great difficulty at their destination, the tourists were met by an old shepherd, who was tending a small herd of goats. He asked the hikers not to set up their all-terrain vehicles and tents on that wild mountain plateau, warning them that otherwise, something bad would happen to them. The strange warning was taken as a misplaced joke, it is thought that the old man probably wanted to keep the meadow on that plateau for his goats.

After spending the night well, the men in the group of hikers began exploring the surroundings. They noticed among the surrounding bushes and vegetation a variety of small sparkling orbs, from the size of a coin to the size of a tennis ball, appearing and disappearing intermittently. They thought it was static electricity or optical illusions created by the ozone charge of the place.

However, something strange was noticed: the compass showed anything but the direction of north, spinning randomly, regardless of the position in which you held it. Therefore, the place had a special energy charge, a kind of intense geomagnetic anomaly. But the most bizarre thing was the following: those who had explored the surroundings said that after 500 meters of exploration around the plateau, although they were walking radially from the camp and in the opposite direction, they still ended up in the camp.

In the evening, the sky darkened and then it started to rain. After the rain stopped and cleared, suddenly there was a piercing cold that made your teeth chatter. Even more bizarre: a very thick and bluish fog settled on the plateau. And now comes the "bomb": the fog suddenly lifted as if on command, and although it was 10:30 PM (so night), it was light everywhere, as if it were broad daylight! And, to make everything seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, the hikers saw to the left and right of the mountain, several horsemen dressed in shining armor and helmets, nervously waving some terrifyingly large swords!

At one point, the battle ended, the fighters retreated, and then it started to get dark again and rain heavily. Curiously, after the rain stopped and the clouds retreated, it was day again. The cars started their engines and, on the car's radio, the announcer's voice was heard saying that it was 7 o'clock in the morning! The hikers packed up everything and ran away from that cursed place.

A previous encounter report from General Emil Streinu:

There have been several anecdotes referencing reptilian draconian beings in Romania since it joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 2004. There is no date given for the scenario detailed by General Emil Streinu (below) though, I suspect, it occurred post-1989 Romanian Revolution and pre-NATO membership. Again, this is not the only reptilian claim to have come out of Romania.

Romanian General Emil Streinu is an expert in radiolocation (radar technology) and has a doctorate in geophysical warfare (HAARP technology). He has served as the Advisor of the Romanian Parliament on unconventional issues and asymmetrical threats - Director of The Special Situations and Research Center on UFOs and Psihotronics - Founder of the Association for the Study of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena and author of several esoteric publications.

For many years he has claimed that reptilian extraterrestrials exist and that they have huge underground bases/cities, but nothing more. Each time he concludes by stating “I’m not going any further on this subject”

After reading Aryan Hava's book "Inuaki, The Reptilian Inside Me" (Vol. 1 & 2), General Streinu contacted her to convey a remarkable story as she was about to publish her third book on this subject: "Anunnaki vs. Anunnaki" (or "An.unnak.ki versus An.unnak.ki"). Streinu eventually wrote the book's preface.

In the introduction, he speaks about a good friend of his who had seen two reptilian beings in the early morning (5:00 AM) in the Retezat Mountains (A group of mountains in the Carpathians).

His friend is also a military figure, a high-ranking officer specializing in commando warfare, who asked for his identity to remain hidden. He served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and Latin America (South America). General Streinu also mentioned that his friend is not a fan of either science fiction or ufology and that he trusts his friend above any doubt.

This high-ranking officer, let's call him "Colonel X", was driving back from a short camping trip, which he took alone in the mountains. He was close to Bucharest when he noticed that he was low on gas...so he pulled into a small rural gas station.

It was 5:00 - 5:10 AM, so nobody was around. Colonel X noticed a khaki Hummer with black windows parked outside the gas station with the engine on, but nobody around it. After filling up his tank, he paid and walked back to his SUV. He then noticed that the driver's door of the Hummer was opened and inside it he saw a reptilian being. The reptilian had no clothes but it was wearing military boots...it was entirely covered with green scales (like a crocodile) and had a lizard-type crest on the head. The reptilian saw Colonel X, then he got out of the Hummer, while still staring at him. He directed some sharp sounds at someone from inside the car, this time looking irritated, then got back at the wheel and quickly drove away. The car had no license plates, either on the front or back.

Colonel X estimated the reptilian to be 2.00m (78.7 inches) high, with yellow eyes and cat-type slits.

The Colonel looked around to see if someone else had witnessed the event, but he was alone. Then he noticed the gas station's video camera. Unfortunately, the attendant told him that the camera was "just for decoration" and had no practical use, other than scare any potential robbers. Thinking that this was a very well-played hoax, he got back into the car and continued his journey.

After several miles, he was still very upset by the events, when he saw the same Hummer with all four doors opened. On the shoulder, he noticed two dark green reptilians that seemed to be arguing. The second reptilian was 15-20 cm (5,9 - 7,9 inches) higher than the first one. It wasn't wearing clothes or boots and had lizard-type feet and unlike the first one, it also had a tail.

On the street, trucks were passing by in both directions and the drivers were pointing at the creatures, but nobody pulled over. Then, Colonel X got his mobile phone out and took several photographs of the reptilians who seemed oblivious to the situation.

After 3-5 minutes, the two reptilians got back into the Hummer and drove back, at high speed, in the direction they initially came from. The Colonel looked again at the pictures from his mobile phone and rushed for Bucharest in order to contact General Streinu and together decide what to do with the astonishing pictures.

Back in Bucharest, the phone clearly showed 11 pictures, but all of them were completely green. Together with General Streinu, they headed to a phone service company that couldn't help them either. It was like the Colonel photographed a bright green light.

For two weeks they analyzed the story in great detail and searched for witnesses, but all efforts ended up in failure.

General Streinu concluded: "Only one thing is sure: we live in a world that we only THINK we know, having a false impression that we are its masters. In fact, we are only subtenants in transit, on a planet that never belonged to us, and have no idea what our purpose really is..."

Connect With Your GUARDIAN ANGEL

Anybody can connect with their Guardian Angel. People often think that you have to be religious or psychic in order to make this connection. Not true. We are all born with our own Guardian Angels and they never stop surrounding us with love, support, and guidance.

Angels help us stay connected with our spiritual source. We also have spirit and/or ancestral guides that help you find your way, though, in most cases, guides are more difficult to connect with. As we raise our vibration, we can more easily connect and communicate with wiser energies in the spirit realms.

Seeking an Angel's help is one of our most powerful spiritual practices, but you need to ask.

Here are some tips that will help you connect with your Guardian Angel:

1. Angels can do nothing for us unless we ask. No need to worry about asking for too much. Angels exist beyond our experience of time and space. Create your own affirmations that specifically call for the help you need.

2. Attune yourself with your Angel. Simple meditation may raise your awareness enough to establish contact. Ask questions. find out how they want to be addressed. Establish a routine that suits your timetable. Make it an exciting experience.

3. Have patience. but ask if you feel your question has not been answered. Learn how to interpret the answers.

4. Quickly react to the guidance you receive. Angelic help has, for the most part, a finite period of effectiveness.

5. With time and practice, you will understand which sensations mean yes, no, or otherwise. Your answer may also come during meditation, or after a prolonged period of reflection. Learn how the message is given and how it should be received. Notice patterns, and times when the message tends to come. Show your appreciation for the advice. Like any long-term relationship, trust and respect are imperative.

It may take time for you to recognize the signs of a connection. But be vigilant. I truly believe that my connection to my Guardian Angels has helped pave my way towards understanding and well-being.

I plan to dedicate a Phantoms & Monsters Radio episode to Angels in the near future. Lon

Bizarre UNKNOWN CANINE Encountered Near Kerrville, Texas

A young man in Kerrville, Texas was walking the dog with his great aunt and uncle when they encountered an unknown canine with an extremely large head, moving in an unnatural manner.

I recently received the following account:

"Back in 2001, I was visiting my great-uncle in the region around Kerrville, Texas. At the time he was living in his first house in the area before he moved to a retirement community, near a small set of trees. The trees were beautiful, really, as is the Hill Country. I was staying with him and my great-aunt for about a week, when we went out for an evening to walk his Dachshund as we tended to do in the evenings.

The walk was uneventful as the sun set, just a normal evening complete with the calls of doves and other wildlife, and the dog just had a wonderful time. Then, suddenly, all the wildlife went deafeningly silent and both of us froze, as did the dog. I remember having a distinct sense of unease and fear that I could not quite explain, and the dog looking directly into a specific area near a streetlight, my eyes turning to where the dog was looking.

There was a creature loping through there, a dog-like thing about the size of a large Labrador Retriever, save that on the creature's neck there was a head the size of a bear. The thing was loping up and down and up and down in a way that fitted that kind of build. It looked hypnotic in a sense and I was more terrified than I have ever been with anything else I ever saw. It gave me a visceral understanding of Lovecraft's idea that things that just look fundamentally wrong are terrifying precisely because the proportions do not fit.

That thing was powerfully built. The upper limbs in particular were very stout, and the dog remained frozen for another few minutes before we moved back to the house.

I'm not sure what precisely that was, or if it was a dogman, but it convinced me that something like that could exist. The sudden silence that lasted for a few minutes after it left, and the dog just being frozen without even growling or barking still sends chills in me when I remember it.

As my only encounter with something like a cryptid, too, it remains something very vivid in my mind, not least because I know how dogs move. I know what wolves would move like, and whatever that was it was no natural thing that made sense." DE
